Austrian oak brings an unexpected resinous edge to this concentrated Dhroner Hengelberg. Glycerol-rich texture carries intense citrus pith and white fruit, but the phenolic grip and elevated alcohol create a somewhat disjointed finish. The persistence is remarkable, though this needs time to find its balance.
